C-CWEL (Continuing Cool WISE ExpLoration of BRC 38): Continuing on some work started by the C-WAYS team last year, this team is using Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) infrared images to search for newly forming stars in bright rimmed cloud (BRC) 38.
For me as an educator, it was really rejuvenating to come out here (and bring a student with) and dive into actual astronomical research.
I am gaining in confidence as to my ability to understand, contribute to the study, and the data we will be using.
[Because of a poster I saw at the AAS and] my participation in the NITARP program, I will be raising the standards for my students in the future.
